YOUNG PARTlSANS.

While the working masses are or ganizing into q political party throughout the country, there IS no lack of energy on the part of the op- posing forces in the way of organiza- ton. And it may be well to take a look into the enemies camp to see what they are about,
 In many cities, from Boston to Denver, the republicans have es- tablished "Republican Clnbs," in many instances furnishing palatlal club-houses to attract the young men of the party. In this they un- doubtedly possess decided advant- age over the Labor Party, for the poor wage-workers, exploited to the limit of bare subsistence, are com pclled to hire, at enormous rents, such meeting rooms IS may be need ed to carry on their conversations, at the cost of dispensing with some of the necessities, not to say luXurles and comforts of life.
 The capitalists, well knowing the attractlveness, to young men, Of club- house conveniences and amuse- ments, are lavish in their contribu- tIons to such institutions, and calcu- late we'll the results of their invest ments. In this city, for instance, there is such a club house. c0nvcn- icntly located upon the principal thoroughfare, and directly opposite Yale College, where. of a winter evening, one may see the warm light streaming through polished windows and hear the sound of gently-c,ash. ing billiard balls in one of the bril- liantly-lightcd upper rooms. lndi- rectly, all this luxury comes from the toll and sweat of workingmen, many of them in the actual employ of the members and supporters
 
 of the club. Though it is called the Young Mems Republican Club, one recognizes among the habitues mostly old political rounders. office, holders, ex-otlice- holders, and the anxious and ambitious would-bt office holders; the latter are not con, fined to the young, either.

If Socialism were such despotical system as Col. lngersoll takes it to be, his criticism of it in the North American Rectew would be just. But if Col ln- gersoll will take the trouble to study the works of Karl Marx, the father of mod ern State Socialism, and especially his Capital which can now be procured in English, he will discover that he has misapprehended the philosophy which he condemns -JOhn Srinton's Puper.

SOCIALISTS, UNITE

This would seem Il strange inj junc- ton to Socialists who in their aims are about of one mind. But in this country with it's large area and d. versltied local circumstances, there have grown mp societies of Socialists who have differed somewhat in their manner of propagatlng socIaIlstlc ideas, and who differed also as to the means to be used to wrest from the despoilers of working people their ill-gotten galns-or perhaps more properly, to make it possible for the toilers to enjoy the full fruits of their labor instead of being com pelled to divide with idlcrs and schemers, that which is rightfully their own.
 The recent elections in New York, Milwaukee, Chicago, and elsewhere, have demonstrated the strength of the socialistic element, and, what is more significant, they have to a large extent brought ns together upon q point on which there has been some difference of opinion, namely, pollt- ical action. The most remarkable unanlmlty with which Socialists, widely separated, have entered into the political campaigns. throwing all their energy into the work of or ganization, is a matter of DO small significance, and indicates q tcnden- cy for closer union which should be carefully cultivated, Nor do we in the least forget or undervalne the great strength derived from the thousands of practical Socialists who are not at present active members of avowed socialistic bodies. Thous- ands of our citizens have withheld their votes because they could not conscicntously cast them for the spawns of pot-house caucuses. Many of these will swell the ranks of the active Socialists when the grand union IS accomplished.
 And it is not union of cxpedi- ency alone that urges itself upon the men of advanced thought and bold projects. A feeling of fraternity, of solidarity, already exists, and has found expression. The men of San Francisco, of Denver, of Chicago and New York have of late been working in parallel lines, and the results were such as to make the ty- rant classes trcmbe and seek safety in united opposition to the advanc- ing gcolumn of United Labor. Others, more cunning, but none the less impotent, are endeayoring to buy the privilege of proft-takmg by offer ing their wage-slayes share in the profits which they wiring from the very men and women who create the surplus values. These are hopeful signs to Socialists.
 Now, comrades, is the time fol closing ranks, Let every Section of the Socialstic Labor Party every society of the International Workingmen's Association take tn, matter into consideration. United in aim, let us unite in action and il tactics. Knowing our power iron

THE RED BIGBEAR,

The Cred flag" seems to have the same affinity for the average voter as the red rag does for the stupid bull they invariably rush for its des- truction. And the action of one seems to be based on as much intel ligence as that of the other. It a source of qualification to the poli- ticians however. They much enjoy the fun, just as some big boy would put chip on the shoulder of q les ser urchin and dare another to knock it off in order to create row between the simpletons for his es. peclal amusement.
 The scoundrels who engendcr the quarrel betweeen the people over the red flag bugbear understand full well all the significance there is in it; but it is not policy for them to tell the truth when misrepresenta- ton better serves the purpose. They know that the red flag of the Socialist has no more to do with revolution and bloodshed, than the stars and stripes in the war of the rebellion represented the destruction of private and the ravishing of Southern females by Northern sol diers. They know all this, for they have been told it time and again by those who revere the crimson banner for what to them it symbolizes- merely the vital fluid of the human heart coursing through the veins of all humanity alike, and denoting children cf a common Creator, who, like children of a common father should live, one on equality with the other, in the bonds of fraternal love and happiness.
 Only this and nothing more. - Hartord Examiner.

We frequently feel sympathy for men engaged in striking and boy cotting, but at the same time we are painfully conscious of the fact that they are acting the part of ar rant fools and injuring themselves much more than any one else.

It Is not necessary for thorough Socialists to cOnspire to act conson- antly in boycotting or voting. A word to them is superhuous.

An independent movement can not be a success-cannot hope for any really healthy growth or to se- cure the confidence of the public in its genulneness, so long as the men who are active in its formation and influential m it's counsels are known to have been hangers-on and disap- pointed otfice-seekers whom the old party managers did not think it worth their while to reward with a soft snap at the public crib. A movement in which the class men, toned takes a prominent part can never rise beyond the dignity of a side-show of. The only way to pre- vent it, however, is to admit no one to membership in an independent club who has not first renOunced all utilization with either of the old par ty organizations. Moreover. no man who has acquired the reputation of being a chronic ottice-seeker should be admitted such will be certain to subordinate questions of public policy to the experiences of private profit; in short, they will sell out Nerlanm HorkmaR.

 Hen. Matthews, the English Home Secretary, sent sham internal ma chlne to his own address and then got credit for pluck because he opened it. The internal machines we hear of so frequently are in most cases no doubt manufactured by the recipients for purpose.
 The Journal V Intted Labor Official K. of L.) in recommending labor papers to its few readers omitted to mention the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE, J0hR .SWiniOn's Paper, the Denver Labor Enquirer. the Brooklyn Labor Press, and others who have done the Executive Board the favor of criticising their folly. It is too bad that the Socialists of Chicago are so numerous and so prone to vote with the Labor Party 1. It makes the "democratic" editors dyspeptic, and their ailing is reilec- ted in their screeds. But it cant be helped As long as the Labor Party is a party of progress and hope for the working people, the Social ists will vote that way.
 The Democrats in Connecticut oppose q bill which on it's face would appear to be of benefit to the school system; the Republicans are bitterly hostile to a measure which would insure State elec- tions by the people. Both parties are thus united-each opposes the people. .- N. !, Leader.
 Yes; and yet the Connecticut Yankees don't seem to know it. Less than three thousand of them had the gumption to vote against the old parties. But they'll do better next time.
 If a political refugee from Ireland or Russia were to kill an English or Russian hireling while attempting to kidnap him, we should consider it justitiable homicide, even if the bloodhound were minion of Bayard. Foran attempt to deliver such refuge to the British or Russian govern ment would be paramount to an at tempt at murder. The right of asylum is an inalienable and a consti- tutional right, and must be preserved intact at all hazards.

of faithful, prayerful service will be
wiped out and over-stepped by the
great rush of resistless forces-but at
the last day it may suddenly and sadly
dawn upon the thinking soul that,
even in spiritual things, there may be
clouds and wind, without the refresh

The greatest sin of earth can
scarcely be greater than selfshness.
A selfish man is not fit for anything
save to die You say he is not fit for
that? Well, he may think he is fitted
in some respects, but his grief at dy-
ing is that somebody else will make a
few dollars by burying him. Such
characters as this are they who readily
fall in with schemes of imitation and
artificial prosperity. Mere clouds and
wind. The world has too many such
people. Why say to a man unless
you give me your money, and permit
me to lose it, you have no public
spirit?" Why say, unless you throw
aside all questions of faith and hope,
and try to get into heaven by build
ing railroad to the moon, ballasted
by wind, and rallied with brass, you
will be lost?" There is vast differ
ence between healthy, legitimate
spirit of enterprise, and narrow
selfshness which does not look be-
yond your own pocket-book. We re-
spect and admire the one, but detest
the other. The motto should be: IAN
honest, healthy growth for everybody
and everything" It is as easy for a
man to be dignifed, good citizen, as
it is to be worthless trickster. The
greatest boom yet is the boom of
Christian courtesy and honor.

The journeyings, murmurings and victories
of the children of Israel continue. They have
been attacked by the Amalekites, and have
achieved victory under Joshua. They come
to Mount Sinai, where God manifests himself
in great power, with thunders and lightnings,
and gives them q code of laws.
This lesson includes a great deal that is vital
in the Christian experience. How many Sun
day School pupils can say that they keep all
the commandments here given? No craven
images; no false gods; no taking of the name
of the Lord in vain; a religious keeping of the
Sabbath day; can any of us say that we fully
obey all these?
The children of Israel had been delivered
from bondage and mraculously supplied their
wants; now he gives them the law. The whole
story is one of ins piration and encouragement
for us. The same divine power keeps and
guides his children, and aids them in times of
trouble to-day that aided them SO long ago.
The people of to-day are in great bondage in
one respect as were the Israelites of old, and
need supernatural help to arouse and deliver
them, just as much. We should all learn the
lesson of being faithful-even where they were
unfaithful. Murmur not against the Lord,
nor doubt the wisdom of his laws. Trust the
divine promises, and live according to the laws
laid down in this lesson.
